To make these decorative pieces I started with a pine tree mold and used hot glue to make the molds. The hot glue sets up within a minute and the piece can be released from the mold.
As soon as the mold is filled, I give the mold a good tap to make sure that the glue has filled in the mold completely and any air bubbles release.

To make the base, I used popsicle sticks and on others I used tongue depressors. I just lined up a few and hot glued two across the back and then did a dry brush  base coat of white.

Next, I painted the base and the trees with a dry brush of green chalk paint. I dry brushed some white on the trees to look like snow and flecked some white paint to create falling snow. 

I glued on the molds and decoupaged a few sayings. (The quotes were printed on coffee tinted paper and then coated with a spray of clear matte to keep the ink from running when decoupaged.)I glued on scraps of painters tarp for the hangers.

And of course, I added some large flake glitter to make the snow glisten. And for a Coastal Bohemian effect I added some tiny starfish toppers.

 




Now be sure and pop in to visit these other bloggers for more Christmas craft inspiration



With love and gratitude,

Michele

      Thanks Gail. Hot glue is the best. What would I do without my hot glue gun?

      I also use paper clay to make these molds but the hot glue is quicker.

    Great idea making your trees 3-D with the molds. All the designs look great! I like that poinsettia that's also available in that mold.

    I had no idea that you could use hot glue and silicone molds like this! These door hangers are so cute. I have a ton of popsicle sticks, so I'm pinning this so I can create my own later! Thanks for sharing!!!
